A poppet valve is a type of flow control valve that uses a ball and seat instead of a traditional spool. People don’t realise that their vehicles use a poppet valve as a directional valve every day when they drive to work. Without a poppet valve, a vehicle’s combustion engine wouldn’t be able to function.…

Many heavy and light industries rely on compressed air due to the fact it is readily available and easy to use. However, to avoid any system failure and poor efficiency, the system of piping needs to be set up with strong air filtration. The act of compressing air can lead to a rise in air…

The water, oil, gas, and mining industries are industries that need a network of pipes for their necessary fluids to flow through. So, aside from the pipes, what do all these industries have in common? They all use flow control valve systems to regulate the flow of liquids. Though these industries are different from each…

When talking about a flow control valve, people tend to think of large water production plants or electricity plants that use flow control valves and other pneumatic valves. But not many people know that different types of pneumatic valves are used in anaesthesia machines. Anaesthesia is a sub-specialty in medicine that has adapted technology to…

Big or small, sprinkler systems either for gardens or irrigation can be a bit confusing when it comes to maintenance. Whether you’re locating a flow control valve, understanding what the wires are for, or trying to analyse the controller, you need to understand all the necessary components of a typical lawn sprinkler system that is…

The function of a flow control valve is to regulate the flow rate for a specific portion of a hydraulic circuit. For hydraulic systems, they are used to control the flow rate when fluids are used in motors and cylinders. Thus, its main job is to regulate the speed of those components.  Work, energy, and…

In the water distribution industry, water is a scarce resource that we all need to protect. We need to secure the water supply for the coming generations (and not just the next) as well as a growing population. The use of a flow control valve can help reduce water losses and contribute to efficient water…

A control valve is used to regulate the flow of fluids by changing its flow size or direction as directed by the signal from a controller. It directly helps in controlling any flow rate and in regulating other vital processes or their quantities such as temperature, liquid level, liquid flow, and pressure. In automatic control…

A flow control valve is well-known in the industrial arena, but did you know that it’s also one of the most useful one in our homes? It is especially used in familiar places in our house – like the shower room. According to studies, Aussies pay about $492 for household water supply services and $584…

Selecting the right flow control valve is not an amateur’s job. Valves may be common as they go; choosing the correct valve for your gas and liquid flow can take up some time and can be confusing. Are you confused about how to select the right control valve? We have gathered some tips before you…

A flow control valve manages the pressure of the hydraulic systems. It manages the airflow and allows any fluid to stream to the desired volume. This process creates a type of energy that can be utilised to operate light to substantial machine works.  A basic example of a flow control valve is found in our…
